END OF YEAR 2011 - a poem

“Let it go!” they told me and I’d say I really tried

But when petty things annoy me, my tolerance just hides.

“Forget it” they advised me but my memory is long

And though the offense vanishes the hurt just lingers on.

“Turn to Jesus”…easily said and I know that that is right

But I pray just as easily for justice for a slight.

Then it hit me, like a brick,that I was born to sin

But Jesus forgave all my wrongs when I prayed and let him in

So maybe, in these holy times, my heart will open wide,

And beat away my lack of faith and let my Lord inside.

O Jesus shut my heart to wrong because I truly know

That even when I wronged You, You sighed, and “Let it go.”
